Some easy traditional placed between the main-camp of Struthof and the old quarry, where most of the inmates had to work under hardest conditions. To remember the results of some lunatic poltical ideology.
Came along for another time and wondered, why there isn't some cache to remember this place!
Quite interesting place and some possibility to combine trips with school-parties whilst visiting the parliament in Strasbourg!
Natzweiler-Struthof was a German concentration camp located in the Vosges Mountains close to the Alsatian village of Natzwiller (German Natzweiler) in France, and the town of Schirmeck, about 50 km south west from the city of Strasbourg.
Natzweiler-Struthof was the only concentration camp established by the Nazis on present-day French territory, though there were French-run temporary camps such as the one at Drancy. At the time, the Alsace-Lorraine area in which it was established had been annexed by Germany as an integral part of the German Reich, unlike other parts of France.
The writer Boris Pahor was interned in Natzweiler-Struthof and wrote his novel Necropolis based on this experience.
